Unexpected billing spikes are a frequent issue. Which AWS services are most often responsible for sudden cost increases? Are background services, logs, or data transfer usually the cause? Understanding these patterns could help prevent repeat mistakes.
 
Generally speaking, billing spikes come when you leave EC2 running, when EBS snapshots continues piling up, and also with NAT Gateway data transfer. S3 data transfer and CloudWatch logs can also grow without you noticing it. Background services and logs are common causes behind cost spike.
